Lady Philosophy & Boethius


In this Renaissance painting Boethius (C.AD 480-525) listens to the words of the Lady Philosophy. The Consolation of Philosophy is his most famous book, and consolation was that he needed as he awaited execution. But philosophy has had many purposes besides this one.
In 523 Boethius fell from power. After a period of imprisonment in Pavia for what was deemed a treasonable offence, he was executed in 524.
